I dunno, that 150 seems p okay too. Other than that this is a spectacular failing and the fact that it works to their disadvantage makes me think it isn't even on purpose

I'm pretty sure HRT for transwomen does shrink the penis. This is something most of them don't have a problem with.

It shrinks the balls a lot of the time, but dick shrinkage is very much YMMV and can range from moderate shrinkage to none at all.

Depends on if the hormones are kept in the fridge or not.

Yeah, for the most part the shrinkage comes from atrophy to do with both a disinclination towards using it and ED from the hormones, it doesn't directly cause shrinkage.

Possibly but not absolutely necessary, if the typical load factor for trains is very low. Which it seems to be, 50% is pretty lovely for public transport.

This isn't comically bad but it's a lot of bizarre unforced errors

-the numbers should be in /on the circles or in the text labels, not switching. Putting $100m for one of them just because it's an American thing is dumb.
-tagging the circles with lines-connected-to circles is confusing, just lines to touch the "real" circles would do it
-layout of the circles is dumb / inconsistent / makes them hard to compare
-could argue this is kind of a perceptually flawed approach (people aren't great with circle surface area etc.) but I'm not a purist on stuff like that
-in summary this is a bad way to portray what is basically 5 numbers

Like most of these, it appears that it's scaled to diameter instead of surface area, which makes it pretty visually useless.

Edit. Hahaha, it is scaled to area, i just saw the 100 in the centre of the middle circle and my brain assumed that the central figure in the diagram would be in the base units. Of course that's the value in alternate units and the base unit is visually offset!

I get that people dislike antifas tactics; indeed I think it normal that people don't like masked hooligans doing much of anything. But the only similarities they share with fascists (using violence for political means) is shared by pretty well every other ideology as well, certainly the more radical/reactionary ones.

There are definitely some groups on the left I'd classify as "regressive" who use aspects of leftist or progressive ideology to justify racism/sexism/homophobia/etc. Like TERFs or Hoteps or leftists who are against immigration from a "the capitalist class uses immigration to drive down the price of labor" perspective.

But those groups are never who conservatives are talking about when they say "regressive left" so

I dunno, you could probably make an argument with select elements of Eco's definitions. Disagreement is treason, obsession with a plot, pacifism is trafficking with the enemy, enemies simultaneously pathetic and manifestly dangerous, maybe even action for action's sake - of course, Eco's definitions themselves are probably overbroad.

I'm not even sure I'd call TERFs as a whole eftists at all given how many of them are also virulently racist, anti-choice, etc.

Anti-choice? Are you still taking about TERFs? Because there's no way someone qualifying for 'Radical Feminist' would be anything but pro-choice.
